The senior leader of the "opposition party" two weeks ago, mocking Trump for being weak on Iran, daring him to "get tough". That's it, that's all this country has to offer. x.com/SenSchumer/sta…
If TACO Trump is already folding on Iran, the American people need to know about it. No side deals.

The tent is always big enough for fascists, but too small for socialists. This has been true of liberal parties for 100 years.
And these numbers just keep increasing with no stop at all. The first pages are very hard to read.
The health ministry has released a new 1,000-page document with the names, ages and other info, of 52,959 Palestinians killed in Gaza. For the first 100 pages (over 5,000 names), the age is listed at 5 years or younger. The first 18 pages the age is listed as 0 (under 1 year)
Centrist Democrats have been trying to cut Social Security for years. This, among other reasons, is why there is no real Democratic fight against the DOGE-Musk-Trump cuts. theintercept.com/2020/06/17/der…
How is Noor Abdalla, the eight-month pregnant wife of Mahmoud Khalil, doing? If she needs support, is there a way to help?
Trump criminalizing politically-incorrect speech about Israel. Aside from threatening jail for politically-incorrect speech they don't like, MAGA is very serious about opposing censorship and defending free speech.
Centrist-far right horseshoe.
A tale of two tweets. In the first, Dem CT Senator Chris Murphy points out that Biden deported more people than Trump as a boast. In the second, the Nazi Fuentes makes the same comparison but as a lament. This is the vise that is crushing us.
The DNC Mafia is circling the wagons, pursuing raw self-interest as response to failure. Almost feel sorry for anyone who still expects the party & its media organs to "learn" or "change" merely because they failed & lost to the weakest opponent in history x.com/ryangrim/statu…
You thought MSNBC was totally in the tank for Dem leadership, but you didn’t realize they could get even MORE in the tank. They just canceled Joy Reid, a reliable Dem supporter but who was willing to criticize Israel and sometimes the party. She’s being replaced by a Biden…
it’s me, I’m the guy at the NYT in charge of boosting safe, run-of-the-mill anti migrant, anti single payer healthcare, pro Gaza genocide democrats as the new face of the Democratic Party and framing their boilerplate centrist positions as bold and edgy
if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools
Where are the DSA AOC defenders at now that its confirmed she capitulated to the party and is no longer supporting primary challengers—which is DSA's whole electoral strategy
Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Henry Cuellar, pressed AOC about her previous support for progressive primary challengers when she sought the top job on Oversight, per WaPo
it's time again !
A majority of Poles, 53%, say life has got harder in 2024 under Tusk's government than it was in 2023 under the former PiS government. Only 33% say it has got easier. Even among the ruling coalition's voters, 29% say things are worse, finds the poll wiadomosci.wp.pl/nowy-sondaz-ja…
people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.
N. Gaza’s being annihilated now. Don’t forget us.
I got the Luigi Mangione manifesto — the real one, not the fake one circulating online. Here it is: kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manif…
The collective Western reporting of Syria this week puts me in mind of this all-timer.
Al-Qaeda/ISIS man didn’t “reinvent himself.” He had the whole propaganda and intelligence apparatus of the “West,” including the BBC, doing it for him.
